Why did you run for Governor?
You, Indiana's young people, are the reason I ran for Governor. I heard from countless young Hoosiers that they wanted to grow up and live in Indiana, but they were afraid they wouldn't be able to find a good job in our state. We hope to change that so when it comes time for you to start your family, you will continue to call Indiana your home.
